LI T ERA itY EW. THE rANTIIS SITAKSPEARF., it: Teu Volumes; in ,hick nothing is added to the Original Text ; but those Words and L• are omitted which cannot with Proplie!) , `be read aloud iii a Family. By TIIONIAS BOWDLF,P, Esq. and S.A. Royal 18ino.—LoNcistnN, Hun T, REEs, ORME, and BROWN, Paternoster-row. The Family Shitkvpeare itf BO tYDLP.R is at length ow! little As we Ate in genetal disposed to telish the couttnt.otaries or emendations for which our imniortel Bard has supplied the pre text, we have examined this work with Almost sininingled satisFactioti, and despite of the pr.:- lati c es we had again:t th e pl a n. or ra ther perhaus the distrust we enti•ttained of its success, we ere now eager to bestow on the edi tor HNI his wotk our cordial anti unqualified ap probai ion. " It certainly is my wish," says Mr. Bown- Lnt, " dud it err,ainly has been my study, to exclude from this puhlic.ition whatever i 3 unfit to he read aloud by a Gentleman to a compiny of Ladies. I can hardly unavioe a more pleasing occupation for a winter's eveniug in the country, than fur a father to read one of SlTAY., , Fratta'S plays to f Emily cliche. My object is to enable him to do so without incurring the danger of tail ing unawares aiming sk mils and expressions which are or such a nature as to raise a blush on the cheek of modesty. or render it necessary for the Iteatle:' to pause and examine the sequel be fore he prcceetl: , futther in the entirtaintiiiint of th e evening. " But thongh many erasures have for this pur pose heel; made in the writings of SHAKSPEARE in the present edition, the Reader may he assured that not a single line, nor Clell the half of a line, has in ens one instance been added to the original text. I know the force of SHAKSPEARE, Mid the weakness, of my own pen, too well to think of ettempting the smallest interpolation. In a few, 4,,• in a very few instances, one or two words - (at the n,nst three), have been inserted, to connect tie si ise of what follows the passage that is ex punge ! with that which prercdvs it. The fear words which are thus added are connecting particles,. words'of lithe moment, and in no degree. affect ing the aleacing of the Author, or the story of the play. A woad that is less objectionable is sometio'les substituted for a synonymous word that is improper." We believe it must generally be admitted, that the by whom this has been achieved has of fered an acceptable tribute to the memory of Sukstsexartz, and conf e rred a real be n efit on our national literature, As a specimen of the manner in which Mr. BowDLEx has executed his task, we subjoin the following scene extracted Irons OtheLl:, perhaps the finest play that even SitAitstu , ..tatt• has pro duced, but of which the language is in some in- Cances most unfortunately exceptiouabi'.: Look, where he comes!

Advices have been received from Grenada this mot nini,'"Vriflight by a Gentleman from thence, who iv arfived in town after an extraordinary quick passage. He ment;ons, that on the 14th of May, r. N. a schooner sailed, bound from Grenada to &pith America, having on board the under-mentioned Gentlemen,* who had ♦oion teered their services in the cause ,of the Inde pendents there, and who not long ago arrived at Grenada from England in ; the ship Grace; that the schooner had not proceeded more than about a league to sea, when a Spanish brig, mounting 14 guns, having on board a full complement of officers and men, immediately on perceiving the schooner bad got to sea, cut her cables and gave her chace ; that shortly after she came within gun shot of her, when a firing commenced, and the schooner immediately struck, and every soul on board were put to death. The morning after this unfortunate attack the Spanish brig again at tempted to return hack into Grenada, but the Governor ordered the Major of the Fort not to permit her to anchor : several shots were fired on her when she attempted to come to anchor, and she then sheered off and proceeded to sea. * Messrs. Ferries, Murray, Bowen, Nlinnett, MusasLey, Child, Brachen, Detrey, Sinspson, Healey, and Suward. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The Gazette de France contains the following paragraph respecting the Con- spiracy : " To the details we have published respecting the Procedure instituted against the Sieurs de Romilly and others, we may add, that on the 2d inst. General Canuel quitted his residence a few minutes after the arrest of the Sieur Sangy, ho was said to be his Secretary, and that he has not since made his appearance. Having been cited some days afterwards before the Juge d' Instruction, it appears that he did not present himself, nor has he since paid any obedience to the Mandat which 'Nub in =sequence issued coinst Litn. Ve6terday the Police Ernest - I.Ni a great nornber of news-hawkers, who were hawk ing anti selling about the streets of Paris, a print ed p.iper about this affair, the details in which are in parr merely similar to those we published yesterday, but which also contains othei• ettieuni stances of a different ehara'cter.- 'IOC sterile time past the Police Ins delivered us from these hawkers of recitals, which are often mere lies and stratagems to impost: upon the public cre dulity:' The Jaurral de Paris contains the following : " The news-hawkers cried about yesterday in the streets Great Cumpirary, &c. and offered to the passengers for a sous, a note, which contained notliing hut the article we published the day be fore yesterday, relative to the arrest of the Sienrs Songy, &c. but extended stud disEgured• The Puiice seized a nomber of these criers, from whom. happily, Pats has been for some time de livered ; ho, (hiring the progress of the Revolu tion, fatigued our ears with recitals of events, true.or false, by which they deceived credulous people, aucl will() usually proclaim in a totally dif ferent manner the papers they 3eek to sell. General Cannel has not yet appeared to the summons o f justice. It was on the 2d instant that the Sieur Songy was arrested at the Hotel where he re sided, iwith the Lientenant-General, who, the same day, absented himself. It was not till the following week that he was cited to appear before the Age d'lnsimetion, failing in ‘viJich Mandat has been is-itted against ilia, and his papers seized." Th e following is itho quoted from the Jourm4 de Commerce : " The most extraordinary reports have been for some time in circulation. They relate to a Conspiracy so odious, to at tempts of a nature so criminal, that we abstained from men tioning them to our readers, not wishing to hazard any thing on so serious a subject. Machinations are spoken of, the success of which would have comproruiried the safety of the State, and the existence of a coststitutional Government. We now learn with certainty, that ten or twelve days since a pro cedure was instituted against the Sivas de Chapedelaine, Marechal de Camp, on the retired list; Romilly, Chef d'Escadron ; Songis, Staff Officcr; and the Count de Joannis, a manufacturer of charcoal at 13.rici, who were arrested in pursuance of a 21Andat of the Jug,: structinn (M. Mealier). It is further said, that General Cannel has absconded from his residence, since which a Man ilal has been issued against him. Seals have heel: put upon his papers, and witnesses examined. It appears that the con spiracy of which this instruction affords the details, must be classed hvith those political projects, in which we recognise rather fallacious hopes and guilty desires, than sinv real means of disturbing the order of things in France, estabii.,:;,el by a Charter conforosable to the general wish, and by a Mo, tnr , t t friaoidly to liberty." The Moniteur contains a Hop! OW; on ior regulating the Arillevy Schools. The foliuu•ing are further extracts : " PARIS, JULY ;b.--Yesterday morning the King promenaded on foot in the Little Pail: of St. Cloud, and afterwards transacted business with the Count de Caze, the Minister of Police .

We are tired of the doubts or rather denials of The New Times, as to the treacherous design of deposing the King of FRANCA, so ba , , - )pily detect ed., and which that Paper still denominates a " pretended Conspiracy." The New Times very properly ridicules the account given of this Con spiracy in a Morning Paper, in which the KING, is represented as a slave to his Ministers, but its own pretended doubts.of so glaring a fact as the Con spiracy itself are not less ridiculous. If the KING a slave, it is to his fears of the contending Fac tions, Crib. lis and Jacobins, who will not let him et,joy the Throne in peace, but are hazarding its security by their respective machinations. We learn from sc)me of the Foreign Jenrnais that a difference had arisen between the CROWN VEINCE of Miliaria and Lis Mother-in• Law, tr'u n- BCAlliiiols, the Sort-iil-La A ' i n s" infamous ELIONAPARTE, anti one of titc ments of his villainy.
